解答 24.C 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)Building the Best You部分最后兩句All you have to do is to answer some basic questions and take five minutes of"focus time"daily to get there.You are responding to questionslike"What am I grateful for today?","What challenged me?"and"How can I overcome that challenge?"可知在這本書里,你可以通過回答問題實現(xiàn)轉(zhuǎn)變.故C項正確.
25.D 細節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)The Gifts of Imperfection部分后兩句The point is to embrace(接受)life and oneself with all the imperfections,releasing the stress of overdoing and overworking.Brown offers exercises for readers to understand their own emotions and begin to develop the kind of resilience(適應(yīng)力)needed to refuse unrealistic expectations of others and ourselves.可知不完美的禮物的想法,包括沒人是完美的,設(shè)立一個現(xiàn)實的目標,接受和愛自己;故選D.

27.A 推理判斷題.這四本書都是鼓勵人們根據(jù)環(huán)境變化來實現(xiàn)個人潛力,展現(xiàn)個人能力的書籍.所以A項"inspiring"是正確的.

點評 考察學(xué)生的細節(jié)理解和推理判斷能力,做細節(jié)理解題時一定要找到文章中的原句,和題干進行比較,再做出正確的選擇.在做推理判斷題不要以個人的主觀想象代替文章的事實,要根據(jù)文章事實進行合乎邏輯的推理判斷.

4.They wear the latest fashions with the most up-to-date accessories(配飾).Yet these are not girls in their teens or twenties but women in their sixties and seventies.A generation which would once only wear old-fashioned clothes is now favouring the same high street looks worn by those half their age.
Professor Julia Twigg,a social policy expert,said,"Women over 75are now shopping for clothes more frequently than they did when they were young in the 1960s.In the 1960s buying a coat for a woman was a serious matter.It was an expensive item that they would purchase only every three or four years-now you can pick one up at the supermarket whenever you wish to.Fashion is a lot cheaper and people get tired of things more quickly."
Professor Twigg analysed family expenditure(支出) data and found that while the percentage of spending on clothes and shoes by women had stayed around the same-at 5or 6 percent of spending-the amount of clothes bought had risen sharply.
The professor said,"Clothes are now 70 percent cheaper than they were in the 1960s because of the huge expansion of production in the Far East.In the 1960s Leeds was the heart of the British fashion industry and that was where most of the clothes came from,but now almost all of our clothes are sourced elsewhere.Everyone is buying more clothes but in general we are not spending more money on them."
Fashion designer Angela Barnard,who runs her own fashion business in London,said older women were much more affected by the celebrity(名流) style than in previous years.
She said,"When people see stars such as Judi Dench and Helen Mirren looking attractive and fashionable in their sixties,they want to follow them.Older women are much more aware of celebrities.There's also the boom in TV programmes showing people how they can change their look,and many of my older customers do yoga to stay in shape well in their fifties.When I started my business a few years ago,my older customers tended to be very rich,but now they are what I would call ordinary women.My own mother is 61and she wears the latest fashions in a way she would never have done ten years ago."

28.Professor Twigg found that,compared with the 1960s,B.
A.the spending on clothes has increased by 5% or 6%
B.the price of clothes has generally fallen by 70%
C.people spend 30% less than they did on clothes
D.the amount of clothes bought has risen by 5% or 6%
29.What can we learn about old women in terms of fashion?B
A.They are often ignored by fashion designers.
B.They are now more easily influenced by stars.
C.They are regarded as pioneers in the latest fashion.
D.They are more interested in clothes because of their old age.
30.It can be concluded that old women tend to wear the latest fashions today mainly becauseA.
A.clothes are much cheaper than before
B.TV shows teach them how to change their look
C.they are in much better shape now
D.they get tired of things more quickly
31.Which is the best possible title of the passage?C

C.Age Is No Barrier for Fashion Fans
D.Boom of the British Fashion Industry.

14.Astronaut Scott Kelly has been living on the International Space Station (ISS) since March 28,2015.And just like any other home,the ISS requires some housekeeping,in the form of regular work and repairs.
That is why Kelly and his partner Kjell Lindgren performed activities,outside the station on Wednesday.The operation began at 8:03AM and lasted for more than seven hours.It was the first spacewalk for both men.
The ISS has been in continual use for 15years,and has hosted over 200people,including astronauts and private tourists.During their activities,Kelly and Lindgren did basic electrical work,such as attaching new wires that will provide power to docking ports (接軌艙門) on the station.The ports will be used when other people arrive at the ISS in 2017.Also,the two astronauts fixed a thermal (熱的) cover on a key scientific instrument on the station to protect it from the severe temperatures of space.
As the more senior astronaut,Kelly led the spacewalk.However,Lindgren dealt with some of the more challenging parts of the job as he has longer arms than Kelly.
During a spacewalk,the simplest work becomes a difficult task.Kelly and Lindgren spent months training and practicing for the operation.The preparation began in NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Lab (NBL).Here astronauts are made to work in an environment similar to the one outside the space station~
Even getting the space suits ready can take days.While each suit is built to fit perfectly on the astronaut who will wear it,adjustments (調(diào)整) need to be made fight up to the time when the spacewalk begins.The adjustments address any changes in the astronauts'bodies that have occurred as a result of being in a gravity-free environment.

33.Kelly and Lindgren took the spacewalk just toD
A.clean up the ISS             
B.carry out a scientific experiment
C.test their new space suits       
D.keep the ISS in good condition
34.Why did Kjell Lindgren do more challenging work than Kelly during the spacewalk?A
A.He had physical advantages.
B.He was the leader of the group.
C.His space suit was more comfortable.
D.His experience of spacewalking was longer.
35.The underlined word"address"in the last paragraph meansC
A.focus on       B.record       
C.deal with      D.direct.
